Compilation error: "error MSB3774: Could not find SDK "Microsoft.VCLibs, Version=11.0""

I am trying to begin the Direct3D tutorial at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh780567.aspx.

I created my new project, and the first part of the tutorial at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh780569.aspx says that you can just go ahead and build it, but when I build I get the following error.

error MSB3774: Could not find SDK "Microsoft.VCLibs, Version=11.0"

I've looked around, and I've found a little bit about the error, but nothing that's helped me actually get it working.

does anyone have any ideas?

Solution

  • I think your SDK is corrupt. Try doing SDK repair, that will most likely solve your problem.
